About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Rasmussen University Launches Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner Specialization

New MSN program specialization to help address the need for mental health professionals across the U.S.

Rasmussen University, a university accredited by the Higher Learning Commission, today announced the launch of its Master of Science in Nursing Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) specialization. The new Nurse Practitioner (NP) specialization is the fourth specialization in the University’s MSN portfolio, which allow students to take their Nursing career to a new level of practice.

Psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioners are trained to care for patients with mental health issues, including but not limited to: anxiety, depression and substance use disorders, which are on the rise across the United States. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, almost 20% of adults and approximately half of adolescents struggle with some level of mental illness. The COVID-19 pandemic has also heightened the need for mental health services in recent years with many Americans today experiencing feelings of uncertainty and depression. According to a new USA TODAY/Suffolk University poll, nearly 9 in 10 registered voters believe there’s a mental health crisis in the nation.

“As the need for mental health services continues to expand, so does the need for PMHNPs,” said Dr. Josh Hamilton, dean and director of the Rasmussen University School of Nursing’s graduate programs. “According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the projected job growth between 2020 and 2030 for nurse practitioners who work in state, local and private psychiatric and substance abuse hospitals is 14 percent. The need is greater at residential mental health and substance abuse facilities with job growth projected at 25 percent. Our new PMHNP specialization plays a vital role in healthcare by allowing students the flexibility to return to school and positively impact mental health shortages within their own communities.”

The PMHNP specialization at Rasmussen is designed for working nurses and combines online courses with hands-on practicum experiences in a student’s local community, giving them the flexibility they need and the advanced training they expect. Students can earn their degree in as few as nine quarters or just over 27 months.

“We designed our PMHNP specialization with the goal of preparing nurses not only for a career in mental health, but to become balanced practitioners and expert clinicians,” said Hamilton. “Every element of the specialization, from faculty interaction to online coursework, is designed to complement compassionate patient care with the science of psychiatric-mental health.”

As part of the MSN PMHNP program, students will experience:

  • Empowered Learning through eleven-week courses that allow students flexibility to use professional and life experience to demonstrate some skills faster as well as slow down and spend time on the areas they need to strengthen
  • Technology-focused nursing classes that prepare students for future technological advancements and innovations
  • Doctorally-prepared nursing faculty who will share their wealth of experiences, knowledge and connections to further students’ preparation in the field
  • A dedicated support team of advisors, faculty, leadership, library resources, 24/7 support center and practicum coordinators
  • Coursework and practicum experiences that prepare students to sit for the PMHNP board certification exam
  • A final practicum experience where students can choose the population and setting in mental health where they want to focus

This is Rasmussen’s first Nurse Practitioner specialization. Rasmussen University also offers three other MSN specializations, including Nursing Leadership and Administration, Nursing Education and Healthcare Technology, Simulation and Informatics.
